Trivia

He was the first champion released prior Season One to obtain a League Judgement.

Ryze's original cost was 1350 . He was lowered to 450 on April 12, 2011.

The scroll that Ryze keeps on his back is seen behind an overturned chair in the Mac Launch preview video.

In his lore it is said that the scroll which Ryze keeps on his back is indestructible, but in the video "A Twist of Fate", his scroll is cut by Nocturne. However, later in the cinematic, the scroll seems to have reformed. Whether this is because the scroll will always repair itself or not is left unstated, and is up to speculation.

So far he appeared in all cinematic trailers, with the exception of A New Dawn.

In the U.R.F game mode (available in April 2014), Ryze was disabled in non-custom games. This was most likely due to his naturally low cooldowns combined with his passive, both of which led to locking one enemy in place and barraging him with spells with hardly any counterplay possible.
